About this trial
Achilles tendon tenotomy is the established worldwide gold standard for correcting idiopathic clubfoot. However, in neglected cases, surgical interventions such as percutaneous Achilles tendon tenotomy (PAT) and open tendo-Achilles lengthening (TAL) are common techniques for correcting this deformity. This study aimed at determining the functional outcomes of Percutaneous Achilles Tendon Tenotomy (PAT) vs tendo-Achilles Lengthening (TAL) in the neglected clubfoot children of age 2-5 years.
